Running essence is something that's been in the game for a long time. Law and nature running used to be a thing, so how is ZMI running any different from that and why is it only a big problem now?

Mainly because we wish to address the discrepancy between the blog and the current rates.
Though running has always existed, we can't dispute that perhaps when we polled it it may have been disingenuous to give XP rates that weren't theoretically the highest with things like running - by quite a substantial amount.
We intend to leave running with existing methods that existed prior to the ZMI as we do agree it's a method which has always existed in the game.
Looking back on our archive we also took into consideration that during much of the original time of ZMI’s existence when running was prevalent, free trade was restricted.
I don’t believe jagex should be limiting player interaction because of high exp rates for certain skills.
You can continue to interact with others at all other Altars available in game.
I feel like it is a good change. But I was wondering about using the "trade" option at ZMI to follow people (so your character auto paths around rock formations instead of getting stuck, which happens when following normally). Will that be affected by this update too?
You will still be able to trade players in the area - just not essence.
Are you going to address the xp rate discrepancy with Swimming as well?
Swimming is currently at polled rates. See below:

You can still interact with other players at other altars for high xp rates, including lavas.
This change is solely for the ZMI.
so 165k xp/hr at lavas with runners is ok, just because it 'was in the game already?'
As stated, this change is mainly due to the fact that we polled rates we believe we didn't stick to nor were fairly shown.
Lavas and running were always able to be done and that is something we are fine with for the time being.
